NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 20.—Hayward
& Clark; ‘The weather map shows
generally fair in Texas and Oklahoma;
cloudy over the rest of the belt; light
scattered showers. Indications are for
light general rains over the central and
eastern States, followed by clearing and
cold weuther in the central States over
Sunday.”
* * *
The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says; ‘ Because the cotton market can
not rise above its immediate environ
ment, statistical drift, which is bullish
in the extreme is ignored. At the cur
rent rate of off-take, it will not be very
long before statistics will form the mar
ket’s environment, and thereafter a

that more consideration wil he given

students of the market are convinced
that ultimate trouble is brewing for the
short Seller.
“According to Secretary Hester, the
world’s visible supply of American cot
ton in round figures is now 300,000 hales
smaller than it was at this time in
1911, in spite of an into-sight movement
thus far this year greater by 140.000
bales than to this date in the monster
crop season of 1911-12.”

Under Tremendous Sales Prices
Drop With a Bang—Bulls
Sidestep.
NEW YORK, Dec. 20. Prices went
down with a bang at the opening of the
cotton market to-day on the publication
. of the bearish Census Bureau figures
• n cotton of the 1913 crop ginned to
j December 13. The first transactions
were made at prices 10 t 20 points under
Friday’s closing. After that the market
j steadied for a breathing spell ami then
cracked wide open under a wave of
j tremendpus selling orders. While the
; selling movement was at its height
i prices broke $1.35 to $1.80 a bale lower
! than Friday’s final.
The ring crowd sold aggressively.
AYad street, the South, the uptown
crowd and longs were noticeable on the
selling side. No one seemed inclined to
support ihe list and the break made
without a pause. Leading bulls and
some of the larger spot houses who
have supported the list for the past few
days were not in evidence and the bears
hammered with confidence. January
was the weakest option of the list, drop
ping to 11.89. j
The Census figures exceeded the gen
eral expectation by 200,000 bales. Just
before the opening guesses ranged from
12.450,000 to 17,798,000 bales. The report
seemed to put an end to the hope of a
commercial crop under 14.000,000 bales.
The rpost discouraging feature of the
break was the absence of support from
the bull crowd, but there was good de
mand at the bottom and recovery of
about 6 points ensued. After that the
market continued on its downward jour
ney and .repeated the lowest point of
the day. As March and May went tum
bling on the way down from 12.50 to
12.14 there was i siderable stop loss
orders uncovered, it was liquidation of
the same sort as l.as been the feature
of the market since last Monday. Much
of it came from the South and may he
described as distress cotton. There
seems to be no doubt that the long In
terest in the belt is enormous in spite
of the extensive liquidation of late.
The whole South went long of futures
in the belief that the early frost and
mid-summer drouth and all of the other
blows that the crop has received would
result in a big bull campaign.
These speculative buyers, however,
forgot the rise of 14 cents had discount
ed considerable of the damage.
The amount of cotton ginned from De
cember 1 to 14 totaled 843.000 bales.
The principal increase in ginnings was
in Georgia, which showed an increase
of 148,000 bales, against 111,000 bales
last year. Arkansas bowed an increase
of 96,000, against 43.000 bales last year.
All the eastern States showed Increases
accordingly. Texas and Oklahoma were
about the same.
At the close the market was steady
with prices at a net decline of 22 to 35
points from the final quotations of Fri
day.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 20. -The Liv
erpool stock of American cotton at the
close of this week is 493,000 bales
smaller than last year. Liverpool to
day was about as due. Futures were
3 to 4 points low'er; spots 3 points low
er; sales 7,000 bales.
The Census this morning gave 12,923,-
606 bales ginned to December 12, against
12,439,036 last year and 13.770.727 in
1911. This is 843,000 bales for the pe
riod, against 585,000 bales last year
and 954,000 bales in 1911. The prin
cipal increase in ginnings for the period
over last year is in Arkansas, 96,000,
against 45.000 last year' Georgia, 148.-
000. against 111,000: Louisiana, 51,000,
against 18.000; Mississippi, 129,000,
against 66,000; South Carolina. 115.000,
against 87.000; Tennessee and others,
50,000. against 29.000. Texas, Oklahoma
and Alabama re about the same as last
year Applying last year's percentage
of 92.2, the toa! figures 14,667,000. in
cluding 650,000 linters and other addi
tions. but the best authorities state
that the percentage ginned this year is
much higher than last year. The corn
ing ginners’ reports will have to prove
that. Meanwhile, to-day’s Census fig
ures were much above general expecta
tions and flattering to bearish sentiment
in cither quarters, which was reflected
by further pronounced weakness in the
markets. New York broke to 12.14 for
March and prices here dropped in conse
quence to 12.44 for this position.
Confidence in a small crop, the Gov
ernment estimate and a bullish situa
tion have not changed here, but, on
account of the coming holiday period,
support is withheld and awaiting the ef
fect of the report on consumers, par
ticularly the spot holders.
FTesent priors are 160 points down
from the highest, which must have
purged technical conditions of all
weakness. After the first rush to sell
was over, the market recovered to 12 50
for March, and held steady around that
figure, although trading is not active.
T1 *• first January notice day here will
he December 26 and in New York on
December 39.

The New York Herald; “There is

The New Yofk Wall Street Journal:
“Satisfaction with the currency bill and

factors of sentimental encouragement,
the financial district does not overlook
the prospect of an early adjournment of
Congress following the passage of the

speculation for the rise could sustain
Itself without recurrence of tight
money.”

The New York Financial Bureau:
“Bankers are relieved by the passing of
the currency bill. The Government ac
cepts the offer of American Telegraph
and Telephone to dispose of its control
over the Western Union. It is declared
on good Washington authority that the
administration will not attempt Govern
ment ownership action prior to its being
rn axle a national campaign issue. Bii'l-
ish tactics are likely to be continued in
the stock market to-day. Purchases are
strongly recommended.”

G. D. Potter says: “The bank
statement to-day will show another sub
stantial increase in reserve. The stock
market now responds to the favorable
factors in a manner that is most grat
ifying to the investor. I consider the
currency bill a most bullish factor and
think yesterday’s demonstration only a
mild beginning of what will follow on
the constructive side of prices. While
there will be some profit taking this
morning. I believe holdings should be
increased on all recessions and do not
overlook Union Pacific and Reading.”

Washington Tells Company to
Relinquish Control of Western
Union—General Advance.
By CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW YORK, Dec. 20. Announcement
in Washington of the agreement reached
between the United States Government
and the American Telephone and Tele
graph Company, by which this corpora
tion is to relinquish its control of the
Western Union Telegraph Company,
caused a tremendous rebound in Ameri
can Telephone and t lie opening of the
stock market to-day.
American Telephone, which hnd closed
ut 117’, on Friday, opened at 120%, but
within half an hour had touched 124
for a net advance of 6'%.
Western Union did not respond as
sharply as American Telephone, open
ing at 61 for a gain of 1 point.
Traders regarded the Washington an
nouncement with great optimism for va
rious reasons They believed that It
had temporarily checked the movement
for Government ownership of telephone
and telegraph lines, and it was evident
that it forestalled long and bitter liti
gation ami legislation under the Sher
man anti-trust law.
Trailing was so vigorous at the open
ing of the stock market and the con
fusion was so great that the floor com
mittee of the stock exchange hail to
hold a special meeting to determine
upon an official quotation as the open
ing price of American Telephone.
It was finally decided to make the
opening price as follows:
"Two thousand shares of American
Telephone and Telegraph traded in at
from 120% to 124.”
These 2,000 shares, however, came in
lots of 500, 200 and 100.
The strength in the wire stocks was
imparted to the balance of the list, and.
taken all in all, bigger overnight gains
were recorded than at any other time
for two years.
At the end of 45 minutes American
Telephone touched 124% for a net gain
of 7 points. Selling set in then and a
few- recessions were noted throughout
the list.
Among the other gains were; United
States Steel common, %; Union Pacific,
; Third Avenue Traction. %; Southern
Pacific. ■%; Reading, %: Northern Pa
cific. •%; New Haven. %; Lehigh Valley.
1%; Erie. %; St. Paul. %; Amalgamated
Copper %. and Canadian Pacific, 17V
The curb was strong.
Considerable buying apepared in
Americans in London before the local
market opened and the American issues
there w'ore strong An exception, how
ever. appeared in Denver and Rio
Grande. Canadian Pacific in London
was firm on covering.
The market closed steady. Govern
ments unchanged; other bonds steady.

ATLANTA LIVE STOCK MARKET.
(By W. H. White. Jr., of the White Pre-
virion Co.)
Cattle receipts normal, with the as
sortment uneven and prices irregular,
the range being steady to quarter high
er. with better grades in strongest de
mand Trade has been reasonably ac
tive during the week, but will likely drift
into dullness with the approach of the
holiday season, esperlally on medium
and plain stock. After January 1 re
ceipts are expected to he lighter, but of
o better grade, and higher price levels
will doubtless be reached.
Hogs continue In good supply, with
prices barely steady to a fraction lower.
The following quotations represent,
ruling prices of good quality of beef
cattle. Inferior grades on dairy types
selling lower:
Good to choice steers, 1.000 to 1.200.

5.2506.60.
Good to choice beef cows. 800 to 900,
5.00#5.60; medium to good cows, 700 to
800 . 4.60 06.00.
Good to choice heifers, 750 to 850. 5.00
#5.25; medium to good heifers, 650 to
750. 4.26# 4.60.
Mixed to common steers, if fat, 800 to
900. 5.0005.50; mixed to common cows, if
fat. 700 to 800. 4.0006.00; mixed common.
600 to 800, 3.25#4.00; good butcher bulls,
